85: Have a chance to experience it again

After putting all seven hundred taels of silver into his palm space, Wei Xun turned and left the pawnshop without a word.

Then, with the money, he went to another cloth shop in the town.

The owner of this shop was a thin man in his forties or fifties. Seeing Wei Xun enter, he immediately came forward to greet him warmly.

Finally, Wei Xun chose a piece of black cloth with good texture and asked the owner to custom-make a set of clothes for him.

He also had a set made for Si Niang based on his description of her figure.

This shop was much more conscientious; two custom-made, high-quality outfits only cost eight taels of silver.

However, customization takes some time, so he could only pick them up tomorrow morning.

The Baibao Yuan auction was not scheduled to start until tomorrow noon, so there was plenty of time.

After leaving the cloth shop, Wei Xun found an inn in the town, booked a high-quality room for himself, and prepared to rest well for the night.

After all, he had lived in the mountains for so long, always sleeping on hard stones, and it was a rare opportunity to sleep on a wooden bed like this.

Furthermore, Wei Xun ordered a table full of fish and meat, then had the Little One bring it to his room.

Once all the dishes were served, Wei Xun locked the door from the inside.

Immediately after, Si Niang emerged from Wei Xun's clothes, transformed into human form, and sat beside Wei Xun, both gazing at the lavish feast on the table.

Wei Xun held a bowl full of white rice, smelled the fragrant dishes, and couldn't help but drool.

“It’s truly not easy; how long has it been since I last ate these!” Wei Xun picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth, and with a gentle bite, felt a burst of fragrance.

With just that one bite, Wei Xun felt like he was about to ascend to heaven.

“It’s too delicious!” Wei Xun’s eyes welled up with tears; after eating wild fruits and Yao Beast meat in the mountains for so long, everything had been bland.

The only seasoning he had was a little salt he had obtained from those human hunters before.

But that had long been used up.

Si Niang had also never tasted such delicious food; as a Yao Beast for so many years, she always swallowed things whole and never tasted anything.

“Big Brother, you know, humans are truly clever, aren’t they! To be able to make such delicious dishes.” Si Niang picked up a piece of sweet and sour chicken, put it in her mouth, and was immediately amazed by the taste.

Wei Xun just nodded, his mouth not stopping for a moment.

Braised pork, boiled fish, shredded pork with green peppers, braised ribs...

With a table full of dishes, Wei Xun couldn’t stop eating.

After he had eaten his fill, Wei Xun asked the Little One to come and clear the table.

The Little One was dumbfounded.

Because, in the Little One’s eyes, this table of dishes was enough for a dozen people to eat together.

But there was only Wei Xun in the room, and the food was eaten too cleanly.

Even the soup was drunk dry!

The large bucket of rice that was brought in was completely consumed.

The Little One looked at Wei Xun’s shabby clothes; if he hadn’t paid before staying, the Little One would have thought Wei Xun was a refugee who had escaped from somewhere, a reincarnated hungry ghost!

“What are you standing there for, dumbfounded!” Wei Xun held a toothpick, picking at the remnants in his teeth, then urged the Little One to clear the table.

“Alright, sir!” Although the Little One was surprised, he was very professional.

After a brief moment ofStunned, he began to enthusiastically clear the table.

Just as the Little One was carrying the plates and preparing to leave, Wei Xun called out to him from behind.

“Bring me some hot water later, I want to bathe!” Wei Xun lay on the chair and pointed to the bathtub by the side of the room.

The Little One immediately understood and nodded enthusiastically: “Don’t worry, sir, I’ll get to it right away.”

The Little One was very quick; in a short while, he ran into the room with two buckets of hot water.

Then he started pouring hot water into the bathtub.

“Sir, do you need service for your bath?” While pouring water, the Little One asked Wei Xun with a grin.

“You serve?” Wei Xun was a bit confused after hearing that.

“How could I serve you!” The Little One had a ‘you know what I mean’ expression: “Of course, I’d arrange for a young lady to come and serve you!”

“Oh?” Hearing the Little One’s words, Wei Xun finally understood.

“We have many beautiful young ladies here!” The Little One said with a grin: “Just tell me what kind you like, sir, and I’ll go pick one for you right away, guaranteed to satisfy you!”

“Is that so?” Wei Xun sat on the chair, somewhat disbelieving.

“What’s there not to believe!” The Little One patted his chest and guaranteed: “Our inn has a good relationship with the young ladies from the Fragrant Pavilion; as long as you can afford the price, we have any kind of young lady!”

The Little One then enthusiastically started to describe them.

“Tall, thin, fat, short, small-faced, big-faced, oval-faced, perky breasts, shapely buttocks, big eyes, small mouths, we have them all…”

“That’s enough, that’s enough!” Wei Xun saw the Little One getting more and more excited, and quickly interrupted him: “I don’t need it for now; maybe next time I come, I’ll have a chance to experience it!”

“Alright!” Seeing this, the Little One didn’t insist; the most important thing in their line of work is to read people, and they can tell at a glance whether a refusal is genuine or feigned.

After pouring two buckets of hot water, the bathtub was only half full.

So the Little One scurried out again with two more buckets of water: “Sir, it will be full soon, don’t worry!”

After the Little One left, Si Niang suddenly poked her head out of his clothes and asked Wei Xun, “Big Brother, are you interested in human girls?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Wei Xun put away the smile on his face and suddenly said with a serious expression, “I’m a monster; how could I like humans!”

“Really?” Si Niang, however, was a little unconvinced: “But when I heard the Little One talking, why did I feel Big Brother’s body temperature rise?”

“No such thing!” Wei Xun did not admit: “It was just a bit hot in the room!”

“Hehe!” Si Niang just smiled, then shrank back into his clothes.

The Little One filled the tub and even sprinkled some flower petals in it.

“Sir, call me anytime you’re done washing!” The Little One said, then exited the room and closed the door.

Then, after Wei Xun locked the door from the inside, he slowly undressed and sat in the bathtub.

As the hot water soaked his entire body, Wei Xun felt completely relaxed.

As a monster for the past few months, he had never enjoyed such comfort.

Although he occasionally bathed in the lake, it was nowhere near as comfortable as a hot bath.

“Big Brother, you don’t need human girls to serve you! Then let Si Niang serve you!” At this moment, Si Niang transformed from a small snake into human form, then stood by the bathtub and picked up the bath towel from the nearby table.

Before Wei Xun could refuse, Si Niang picked up the bath towel and started scrubbing Wei Xun’s back.

“I have to say!” Wei Xun closed his eyes and enjoyed it, sighing, “Si Niang, your technique is quite good!”

“Is that so?” Si Niang smiled slightly after hearing this: “Then after I’ve scrubbed you clean, I’ll trouble Big Brother to scrub me as well!”

“...”
